wow... you can all speak gay. Though, I must admit I know few 20 year olds who know anything about cher or barbara. We do however, talk about christina, britney and beyonce as if we're on our way to meet them for coffee.

Due to current economic conditions, the light at the end of the tunnel has been temporarily turned off!

i'm kinda happy i'm not by the way, of all of these i have to agree to only 10 of them, more or less... but barbara? beyonce? cher? please, give me a break, christina? britney? wizard of oz? oh my god, i'm so out of all of that...

although i'm gay in much more complex ways than that i think... i just don't fit in the typical gay prototype, i guess... once again, i'm so glad!

Exactly! I really can't say how much I agree with you, Jonsi.

People like what they like... but I do have a problem when others attempt to inflict their paradigm of what it means to be gay on me. No thanks.

Ahh... this is price of gays becoming assimilated. The gay youngsters are not going to have a secret language or their own culture anymore. In the years before the internet, before there were any gays on television, we had to secretly guess as to who was family. Now all you have to do to connect with other gay guys is change chat rooms or make a phone call. You don't have to mix with lesbians, or drag queens or leather guys because no matter how specialized your interests you can find people all over the world who are into the exact same things you are. The gay ghettos are dissolving, the gay magazines can't target their readership, straight guys are body shaving and piercing their nipples. We are now getting married and having kids. Even AIDS isn't holding gays together as it used to, because now the majority of people with AIDS aren't gay. This is an interesting transition period.

Anyway back to that "gay" list that doesn't apply to half gay people on here.

I thought this list of "gay characteristics" was tongue in cheek and if anything....stereotypical. Most of my friends and I do not fit any stereotypical description of gay men. I was one of the few people that refused to accept Queer Eye for the Straight GUY as good for our image.When they started in on this guy who had some hair on his back ...and ended up waxing him.....well ....turned me off.
